I do not understand the effect of all the different support bars and what not when it comes to traction gains. I understand a car with sticky tires will not peel out, but what aftermarket products traction wise gets the z the boost off the line?

 

slicks/drag radials, limited slip differential, rear suspension tuning

 

what is the difference beween typical racing tires and drag radials? Also has anyone used these products, and what was the result?

 

drag radials are like your street tires with a reinforced (stiff) sidewall. typical drag tires have sidewalls that flex and absorb some of the extra power that could cause wheelspin (depending on tire pressure). drag slicks or even ET Streets which are one of the available street legal drag slicks are horrible for driving on. they are made for drag classes that need street legal tires but the cars are not actually street driven. drag radials are what you want if you want tires to drive on the street with very good launching grip capabilities and if you want tires to just bolt on when you get to the track then go with some slicks or ET Streets. the full race version of et streets are called et drags. at our power levels you will not notice a difference between et streets or et drags but you will notice less traction on a hard launch with drag radials (but they are much better for driving to the track).

Please rate the helpfulness of this post 1-5 where 5 is the best. thanks.

Thankyou your post was very helpfull, I might even give it a 5.0 if you could suggest bust bang for your buck drag radials.

 

BFG g-force T/A drag radials. look for some that were used by someone for less than ten times or so and now they don't need them anymore. they will be much cheaper than new that way. or just get some new ones.
